From diving off a Jamaican waterfall to evading a charging black rhino in the veldt, Hancock's diverse experiences are related in stories that cascade in a torrent of thrilling events and breathtaking wonder. 15 line drawings.

Diving off a Jamaican waterfall, evading a charging black rhino in the veldt, running naked through the streets of South Africa, nearly drowning off the coast of Brazil -- such adventures and many more are recounted in this personal collection of travel essays about one man's journey following the cardinal winds. Infused with a dry sense of humour and an observant sense of place, these stories cascade in a torrent of thrilling events and breathtaking wonder.
